Kwon Ji-an’s Humming Letter #64 is an evocative expression of movement, emotion, and sensory depth. Created in 2023 as part of her ongoing Humming Letter series, this piece captures the essence of sound transformed into visual poetry. The artist’s signature technique—applying paint directly with her hands—infuses the canvas with an organic energy, where every swirl and stroke feels alive with intention.
Kwon’s approach to painting is deeply intuitive, translating the resonance of music and emotion into textured landscapes of color. In Humming Letter #64, vibrant red florals emerge dynamically from a layered background of blues, purples, and greens, creating a sense of movement that recalls the fleeting, rhythmic nature of a hum. The absence of traditional brushwork allows for a deeply tactile surface, making each mark feel spontaneous and immersive. The textured application of paint reflects light differently at every angle, enhancing its depth and vibrancy.
